Validation

Dear Jackson, it's your birthday

Someone made a post about it

And a thousand people liked it

I just liked it too

Got no idea who you are

But I've got nothing else to do

On my windowsill

The plant I bought two months ago has withered

Guess I should've changed the pot

I let that pretty flower rot

I should feel sorry

But it's one less thing to worry about

Sliding past another guy's face

I just wanna see what's out there

I'm not looking for a date

Just validation

Wouldn't it be sad if my love life was an app?

I should practise my guitar

I suck at it, I won't get far

At least I'm trying

Shame that trying's usually not enough

The only thing I'm good at lately is at buying lots of crap

Sliding past another guy's face

I just wanna see what's out there

I'm not looking for a date

Just validation

Maybe I'll just take a picture

Smile like I'm not feeling bitter

No one's got the time to listen

When I pour my heart out

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody wants to rule the world

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody wants to rule the world

Dear Jackson, I remember

You're a friend of my friend Heather

In five years, I only spoke to her a couple times

All I wanna know is how the hell you've got so many likes?

Sliding past another story

I'm alright, no need to worry

I'm not looking for a friend

Just validation

Time to take another picture

Smile like I'm not feeling bitter

No one's got the time to listen

When I pour my heart out

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody wants to rule the world

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Validation

Oh, oh

Everybody wants to rule the world

Oh, oh

Everybody wants to rule the world
